🎷🎺🎹 Last night, we were thrilled to welcome back some Livonia Music Legends to the Middle/High School for the 2024 Robert Leader Jazz Festival. If you went to school here in the '80s, '90s, or even early 2000s and participated in band and chorus, these faces might look familiar (maybe just slightly older - Sandi said this picture could be called the good, the bad and the ugly, but didn't say who was who). ✨ Sandi Szymanski, Doug Hawk, and Bob Leader ✨ all returned to the stage to perform "Gospel John" with the Alumni Jazz Band! The group was also joined by Rochester's renowned jazz trumpeter Herb Smith. What an incredible night of outstanding music! 🎷🎺🎹Alumni Jazz - Gospel John: https://youtu.be/BlBJK9AIXzc You can find the whole concert here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKjEhHR34B5r98s1yTMOODFMmXbqHTkRy

Fly the United States Flag at Half-Staff on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 in Honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day A Proclamation on Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2024 Every day, police officers pin on their shields and walk out the door, rushing into harm’s way to keep the rest of us safe.
